Nameko is making good use of his time in Canada by heading out to the west coast! The night before the big trip, Nameko has a nice half chicken dinner (split among 3 people) and a leftover Reuben sandwich (from the previous night in Windsor).

Before heading to the airport, Nameko has a ham and egg (over easy) sandwich made by dad.

At Pearson Airport, he admires some of the art.

He goes to a completely different section before realizing his error and heading back (moving walkways are so helpful!) to the proper boarding gate.

Once safely on the plane, Nameko enjoys the view from above the clouds and snacks on a granola bar (from Australia!--a present from a friend). Since it's only a 5-hr flight, no in-flight snacks/food is provided, although it is available for purchase (expensive!).

The next day it's off to Paul's Omelettery for breakfast where Nameko enjoys a Veggie Omelette.

After a bit of a rest (digestion time!), it's off to Metrotown for some shopping. Of course, the mall is all decorated for Christmas. There's even a train ride (third picture from the bottom)!

Then it's off to Downtown via the Skytrain! Nameko gets his Faresaver ticket, sticks it in the validator to get it date/time stamped before heading up to the platform to wait for the train. (He later realizes that to get from Metrotown to Downtown (Granville), he needed a 2-Zone fare, not just a 1-Zone fare, but thankfully didn't get checked and was thus safe. ^^;;)

Although he's not particularly hungry, it's nearly 1pm so he decides to get lunch at Foodwares Market: chipotle chicken chowder and blueberry white tea.
